Hello -
Like most roach keepers, I have struggled with how to remove Vaseline from a roach tank either after I have changed tanks or when I need to replace the Vaseline. I stumbled upon a solution that works!
I started with removing all the Vaseline that I could with a few wipes of a paper towel. Then I used the purple "Method all purpose" cleaner (I purchased at target, but I think it can be found elsewhere). I sprayed the cleaner on the walls of the tank and again wiped with a paper towel. I then sprayed a second time with the cleaner and used a sponge to remove any remaining Vaseline from the walls. You might have to repeat the last step depending on how much you initially put on. I rinsed the tanks really well and let them air dry and the Vaseline line was gone!
I hope this helps everybody. I am sure there are other cleaners that will work, but I choose the method brand because it is less toxic than others. I am also sure that there are other techniques that work, this is just what worked for me.
